Mapping Software

pRPL is a general-purpose parallel Raster Processing C++ programming Library. It enables the implementation of parallel raster-based algorithms without requiring a deep understanding of parallel computing, and greatly reduces the development complexity.

NITRO is a full-fledged, extensible library solution for reading and writing the National Imagery Transmission Format (NITF), a U.S. DoD standard format. It is written in cross-platform C, with bindings available for other languages.

eWorld is a framework to import mapping data from providers, such as OpenStreetMap.org (OSM), visualize it, edit and enrich it with events or annotational attributes and pass it to traffic simulators, such as SUMO or VanetMobiSim.

ScapeToad is an easy to use application for the cartogram creation. Cartograms are deformed maps where the polygon size is proportional to a given statistical value. ScapeToad reads and writes Shapefiles.
See <https://github.com/christiankaiser/ScapeToad> for the latest version of the code.

This project contains Visual Studio .NET 2.0 Classes that implement the Google Earth API version 2.1. These classes do not use the Google Earth COM libraries, but rather generate KML based on the documented API at http://earth.google.com/kml

NaviPOWM is planned to be a car navigation system capable of running on a variety of operating systems. Only OSM based map data is supported. Realtime routing engine is planned in a later version. Geocaching and city guide functionality are also planned.

GeOxygene aims at providing an open framework which implements OGC/ISO specifications for the development and deployment of geographic (GIS) applications. It is a open source contribution of the COGIT lab. at the IGN (the French National Mapping Agency).
